What do you call this part?

[Marz-Bar]

Bought a new boat, time to wire up the radio and depth finder. Saw on another boat a part made of stainless steel that wires run through to seal out the weather. Cant find where to buy this because i don't know what it is called. Also, is there one item thats better than others?
Thanks for your help.

Found the part you were referring to. Not the part I saw on this boat. The part I saw was about 3" round with the center cut out and replaced with what looked like a very soft and pliable grommet looking thing. When you pushed the wires through the center, the soft material would close around the wires and keep the weather out. Thanks

Thanks Silvertip. Worked like a charm. Installed it this weekend, looks much better than just a hole drilled through the side of my center console. If they only made one big enough to pull my depht finder wiring through.
